Maya Woods longs for one last boat trip with her three best friends—Pearl, Erica, and Lystra—before they graduate. Their plans unravel when a forced landing on the island of Annatto, rumored to harbor monsters and shadows, plunges them into darkness. Erica turns up dead, and the community spirals into grief and suspicion as Maya scrambles to understand what happened. A week later Erica mysteriously returns, alive and well, but changed. Old feuds flare and new betrayals surface as secrets close in. Drawing on Caribbean folklore and sharp friendship dynamics, the novel delivers suspense, cultural nuance, and a coming-of-age horror that will resonate with Rick Riordan Presents fans seeking myth, monsters, and heart.
